Daft dances
Thanks for everybody's help on the Song Title Party thread below.
It was a great party which degenerated into people ignoring the playlists that the host had carefully put together and people putting on song after song themselves - with gaps in between just like in the old days.
Resulted in loads of frenzied dancing followed by 30 seconds deep breathing followed by more frenzied dancing - repeat ad nauseum. Or at least 4 hours....
Somebody put Black Dog by Led Zep at one point & a couple of us headbanged to it. Thirty seconds in I could feel this was a bad idea & I had to look for a decent moment to stop without losing too much face. Later on "Oops upside your head" was chosen & down on the floor we all went. did it three times in a row, God it hurt.
I woke up on sunday feeling like I'd run a marathon or played rugby against the Sprinboks. Aching all over. Neck very sore thanks to the Zep - but the killer proved to be Oops Upside - it gets you in all the wrong places.
Any other painful and stoopid dances enjoyed by the Word massive?
PS. Strangely though...no hangover. Dancing seems to do that.

Do the Peter Crouch
Who I not only admire for his dancing but also for the line
'So, Peter, if you hadn't been a footballer what would you have been'?
'A virgin'
The Stanley (Stackridge)
My single has the dance steps printed on the sleeve.
Failing that, hows about a bit of Chubby Checker?
or
(Doesn't he look like Eamonn Andrews?)
First pogo
I remember the first time I pogoed through a whole gig (Stranglers - Hanley Victoria Hall about March 1977) - good stuff that adrenalin. By the time we got back home most of us could hardly walk and the next day or two was complete agony. Students eh?!
